That's not the center's position. That's the position of people pretending to be center.

It's more like:

Left: "Let's destroy people's livelihoods with higher taxes on small businesses and also force people to do things they don't agree with. "

Center: "Um, that's not a good idea. Let's not do either of those things."

Right: "Yeah, that's right! Let's commit genocide and make it easy for murderers to get weapons."

Center: "No, that's way worse! What the hell?"

Left: "That's it, if you don't agree with us, you're the enemy!"

Right: "Exactly!"

Center: ....

If "the left" raises taxes on a business or individual that pays close to 0 and normal taxes bankrupts them, is that bad?

Are we threatening Jeff Bezos' livelihood by wanting him to pay taxes? Cause that's who we want to pay taxes, not working class but the billionaire class. Also, the working class is ALREADY paying taxes.

Except billionaires have enough money to avoid it. Middle class don't. So they end up paying.
